A personal rejection may be taken as an insurmountable barrier and a reason for self-pity and hate, or as an incentive for looking more closely and critically at our behavior as a means of correcting it and thus, attempting to change the behavior of others toward us. The choices are ours to make.
Mental Pain ~ If each time we experienced it we would welcome it with interest and give it our immediate attention by asking ourselves, “ What is this hurt about?” “What is there for me to learn from it?” “What are my alternative responses besides suffering?”, we would perhaps discover the true reason for the pain and be able to arrive at some creative behavioral alternatives to aid ourselves in overcoming it.
~ Leo Buscaglia Personhood, The Art of Being Fully Human
I heard talk last night about those who have been “released” from the snare, disconnected from the false matrix. There is worry and concern. They’re losing their energy “sources”.
The old threads are unraveling, Get your needles ready. We are stitching a new quilt of Humanity.
Bring your old t-shirts, worn out jeans, scarves, antique gowns, aprons, old pockets of plenty who have held Earth’s treasures, stones, feathers, leaves, love notes on paper.
Each stitch A mindful meditation. Each piece of material A story. The more colour the better, so call in the Tribes.
Threads of browns, whites, reds, oranges Women from all nations start stitching. Let’s recycle the hate, the abuse, the fear, the judgment. Turn it over, wash it clean, ring it out to dry.
It’s a revolution of recycled wears. Threads of greens, blues, purples Colourful threads of peace, kindness, respect, compassion are being stitched from one continent to the next over forests, oceans, mountains.
The work is hard Your fingers may bleed. But each cloth stitched together Brings together a community. A world, our future world Under one colourful quilt. The new quilt of humanity.”
The “Living Bread” to me, is the connection, relationship, and love. It’s not the literal “eating” of the flesh, it is “becoming” the flesh by becoming “Amadeus”.
God’s love. Amadeus is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning “loved by God” or “love of God.” It is derived from the Latin words amare “to love” and Deus meaning “God.”
Amadeus, being a lover of God, and loved by God, is gender neutral.
The world will be a better place, for you and me, just wait and see!!
Think of your fellow man Lend him a helping hand Put a little love in your heart You see it’s getting late Oh, please don’t hesitate Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place And the world will be a better place For you and me You just wait and see
Another day goes by Still the children cry Put a little love in your heart If you want the world to know We won’t let hatred grow Put a little love in your heart

I’ve been having conversation in my head with the “Essence of my Essence”, the One who gifted me life when mine adversary attempted time, after time, to strip it from me. God. As I know Him.
I woke last night for a late night malted milk ball snack and through my mind ran the words, “Flesh of my Flesh.”
